Ex-Google tech lead Patrick Shyu explains how to learn to code quickly and easily, with this one weird trick! It\'s so simple with this 1-step program!
Are you looking to hack into the mainframe, bypassing the system security lock to gain root access into the private kernel? Well, if I can do it, so can you!
* ABOUT SITTING: It is highly unhealthy to sit for long periods of time. I always get up and take a short break every 30 minutes. Note though that even with breaks, it is known that long periods of general inactivity will put your body to sleep and you need to take longer walks/jogs throughout the day to keep up a healthy metabolism. Take care of your back/neck posture as well.

Fourteen-year-old programmer and software developer Santiago Gonzalez might just be the next Steve Jobs. He already has 15 iOS apps to his name and dreams of designing for Apple. At age 12, Santiago became a full-time college student and is on track to earn his bachelor\'s degree in computer science and electrical engineering by age 16. By 17, when most teenagers are excited to just have their driver\'s license, Santiago will have his masters degree.
A self-professed computer nerd, Santiago is fluent in a dozen different programming languages and thousands of people have downloaded his apps for the Mac, iPhone and iPad.
Learn how Santiago\'s parents overcame a rigid school system that left their son intellectually stifled and depressed and instead followed an unconventional pathway to nurture his incredible gifts. Santiago\'s story is truly inspiring and his family\'s experience provides a powerful model for parents of exceptionally gifted children.
PRODIGIES is a bi-weekly series showcasing the youngest and brightest as they challenge themselves to reach new heights and the stories behind them.
